hello,
this is the "original clone picture"

Memoriam Shawna Austin


Believe it or not

(Carl named it in memory of his daughter,
who died with 30 years from a car accident)

cheers

[Corrado & Rina]

The colour is really special .... can you also post a picture of the flower close up? It is interesting that a clone could show such variation ....

[Anthony Darby]

Temperature when forming affects the colour of the flowers. Even flowers on the same stem can be different.

[K Andrzejewski]

cultivar is very sensitive to the temps
and makes this year the deepest color I have ever had in the past 11 years.

- Dieter, do you know what Austin and Corkhill are thinking about differences between "Shawna Austin" and "Pixie"? This could be very interesting thing to be a witness to such talk

P.S. I would like to buy a single nose from this original plant - if this is possible, please just let me know..

hello,
no, I dont know about that question.
I know that Carl Austin  was very ill at about the time wwhen I registered the hybrid for him.

and I know that, the original plant - due to the healthsituation- was given to a person who cultivated it to death.............
I received a very small piece of it, but arrived in "deadly" condition,
so the original clone unfortunately is gone for ever.

the Shawna was made with "hotei", the Pixi is made with tibeticum.
but wwhen I compare my Pixi with my current cultivars of Shawna (from dutch source)
indeed there are only slightly differences 

sometimes I think, the sowers mixes up the tags on the seedlingsflasks
and make registrations only to become "prominent" and promote business   

cheers
PS just look at "Prof. Robatsch" or "Aasee",
for me these are fakes...............

- and you are not the only one 
Thanks for the answer

I reckon 20% of the hybrids I buy turn out to be something else.
It is always a relief when something flowers for the first time and looks 'right'.
This is taking into account the large amount of possible variation in parental material, especially in the species in the macranthos complex,

Here's a little number I chanced upon. Looks like it has a lot of C. fasciolatum in it.
Any ideas about the hybrid cultivar name appreciated.

Cypripedium x ?

[K Andrzejewski]

Looks like it has a lot of C. fasciolatum in it.

- looks like kentuckiense

Hi,
another cool week with slow development.
First up is 'Ingrid', bought from Maren a couple of years ago. Tiny flowers when compared to some but still pretty.
'Sabine' and a 2nd clone of 'Sunny' ( I think - another mislabelled plant) are next.
Lastly is one of two (?) x ventricosum albums from Crustacare, bought as macranthos red Russian, also posted last year.
Flowers are bigger this year and have super substance.
Regards,
David

Hi,

first up is macranthos pink from floralpin.
I find macranthos clones the most likely to lose flowers over winter due to low temps.
This plant has 6 growths but only this one has a flower.
Next is parviflorum var 'makasin'. This is supposed to be scented but this clone certainly isn't.
A normal x ventricosum follows. A quick grower - 17 growths this year up from 9 last year.
Lastly is the large tibeticum with 10 buds. Not quite fully out.

Regards,

David

Fred,

I would agree that it probably has kentuckyense in there somewhere, fasciolatum generally has a toothed margin to the pouch with more ribbing in the pouch also. However in kentuckyense the side petals generally show condierable spriral twisting, so it's probably a kentuckyense hybrid, as to which..... is anybody's guess.

You could have a look at the parentage list on Werner Frosch's website: http://www.w-frosch.de/Cypris/Hybriden/hyb_elt.htm
Scroll down to kentuckyense and you will find 22 possible parents of registered hybrids - that's when the guessing fun starts. 


David,
Another lovely range of plants again, and an eloquent advertisement for your growing techniques - which I have now adopted fully, especially the feeding regime.

I think we will all be doing exactly what David has been doing. What a show  . I can't wait till my collection grows more.

- not me, all my plants will be definitely all year around outdoor.
